The Obama inaugural committee is throwing a dinner honoring John McCain as an advocate of bipartisanship, but there's a gap in the guest list. Notably absent is running mate Sarah Palin, Daniel Schulman blogs for Mother Jones. “I don’t know if she was invited,” says a Palin spokesman. The inaugural committee passed up multiple opportunities to comment.

If she wasn’t invited to the dinner, it’s not clear whether the snub comes from the inaugural committee or the guest of honor. "But it's not terribly hard to imagine why she might not make the cut," Schulman notes. "Given that the McCain dinner will celebrate bipartisanship, not conflict-resolution, perhaps it's best for Palin to keep her distance."

Now how does a spokesman for Govenor Palin not know if she was or was not invited?

King, Consider... She was the only one who really slung hardcore mud... I don't think I ever heard John talk trash about Obama, the way she did... I don't believe I've ever witnessed an election that was so dirty, so petty, so disrespectful, so over the line, in my entire life... She said some pretty awful things...
